Path To Prosperity: Indigenous Entrepreneur Workshops

As part of its initiative to assist the development of Native American small business artists and entrepreneurs, the Poeh is hosting a series of trainings throughout the year to provide skills and tools to create and promote a community of Native entrepreneurs.
